It's a purty picture on the cover.

Nice Photos...
Completely irrelevant, although one could garden there, if one had the cash (it's for sale):
Mutton Island Off Atlantic Coast of County Clare, Ireland: The island itself comprises of 185 acres of grassland with a freshwater lake and several springwater wells. It slopes gently from sea level on the east to a height of 110 feet over two kilometers to the west where the watchtower is situated. The east of the island contains the ruins of two cottages, a disused graveyard and the site of a cross and oratory as well as several walled fields.

How is a graveyard disused? Did they dig up all the bodies?
I'm guessing that no one lives on the island, that there used to be a small fishing village there, and that "The Others" was inspired by the place. ;')

Mrs. Slim gets a bazillion seed and plant catalogs. Me, I'm just the guy that digs the holes and waters stuff.

The most amazing melon we have grown. The fruit are vibrant yellow with brilliant fire-red, zigzag stripes, (a few fruit may be solid yellow), simply beautiful! They are also the most fragrant melons we have tried, with a rich, sweet intoxicating aroma that will fill a room. The white flesh gets sweeter in dry climates. Small in size the fruits weigh up to 1 lb. - perfect for a single serving. The vigorous plants yield heavily, even in dry conditions. This heirloom came from an Armenian market located in a mountain valley. It was the most popular melon at our Garden Show last August and makes a unique specialty market variety. Pkt. (25 seeds).
Will you come to my house sometime in the next two weeks? :D
No using me to instigate strife! :)
Not at all. I want to use you to dig holes.
I think I ordered too many plants...
Digging holes in MD is easy, you can practically do it with a butter knife. Now in what they call dirt here.... think dynamite and pickaxes.
We've got clay here. Since it rains just about all the time, we got wet clay. Every shovelful weighs a frickin' ton.
The sandy stuff on the Eastern Shore is great for tons of different plants. My family runs Eastern Shore Nurseries, founded by my Great Grandfather and Grandfather in 1929. So if you need azaleas or boxwoods...
